As an administrative note, maybe these button-related threads might be good to move to (or link in) the "FUDforum Icons" forum, just for organization?

I'm making a collection of them to organize into a real gallery, along with Avatars, icons, CSS, and complete themes. Like the grape defaults above, I have those in 100 different hues or shades of color that still need modified some and or renamed. But what I think we really need are some "Instructions for Dummies" on how too use and install them, as well as some other how to's

I'm with you on linking with the icons threads but am considering going More Better with it using the virtual forum option. If I understand it correctly that will be the way to go, as it would allow any administrator of a FUDforum installation (with privileges) to access it, use it and contribute to it directly from their forum.

Unfortunately, I am just a glorified user with an attitude and have nowhere near the in depth know how and knowledge some of you possess.

If you are willing we can put our heads together and see what we can work out.

If you can find time to attach a zip file of the purple theme, I can add it to the collection.
So far I have all the other ones you made and I believe all the themes that users have uploaded in the last couple years, groms dark, grey, black theme, dark penguin, and a couple others. I also have several CSS's, Piasa's original, mutiny, xmas, easter, witchs green, and lord knows what else.

Along with 5 or 6 avatar packages, 4 sets of buttons and about 100 of FUDs default buttons in different shades and colors (and I will work on converting the ones for different languages) those alone should fulfill most needs, its pretty hard to improve on them as far as legibility is concerned and they are probably the best I have seen. By colorizing them they can be used just about anywhere and I also have black and red silk buttons somewhere if I can find them.

No biggie we been busy beavers, and you are right, we are missing one from that group but we can fix that easy enough.

we'll pull it all together, I know where the original gimp files are... or rather were I'm pretty sure I can find them again, and am hoping to make some other little tags to go along with them if nothing else i have some blanks i modified with paint that will work fine.

One thing we will definitely need though is some translations "Quick Reply" for starters but any new tags we make will need translations as well, and FUDforum covers a lot of languages.

If I count right with quick reply that's 16, minimum for each language and add to that what we need for any additional user tags, ranks or whatever else.

And that brings up a whole nother set of issues as to the text capabilities of the computer but I think the mozilla language packs along with windows will suffice if we can get the translations to begin with.

You somehow introduced a space before the file extensions. For example, flat_view .gif instead of flat_view.gif. After fixing the names, dumping the images into thm/concord/i18n/english/img and rebuilding the theme, they appear on-screen.

So what is your goal with these themes and galleries? Or do you have a specific goal beyond making a gallery?

Not sure yet. For now it's important to continue the effort. A rich gallery of themes, buttons, avatars, etc. will benefit the entire community. When done, we may include some into the next version or create a "theme builder" to help users putting it all together.

I am still testing all the experimental themes, and so far the only issue that is notable is that Quotes have no definition to them other than the quotations themselves, there is no visable block or border around them and their background melds with the rest so they appear as regular text on the screen.

So far I have been unable to identify which CSS section will correct it, still looking.
